About Me!

Welcome to the zoo! I'm Melissa, a mom who's truly living the life of Riley. I've been blessed with a wonderful husband, an absolutely amazing daughter, a happy home, a successful work life and much more! Thanks for taking a break from your journey to learn more about mine.

Welcome to the first edition of my top sweepstakes picks! I've scoured the web to bring you the best of the best out there! I've decided to organize these by category and so I will be making separate posts for each major type of sweepstakes. If you don't have time to enter all of the sweepstakes I list, I suggest you enter what you can in the following order:

Instant Win Sweepstakes

Single Entry Sweepstakes (Will be posting this one very soon)

Weekly or Monthly Entry Sweepstakes (Will be posting this one very soon)

Daily Sweepstakes (Will be posting this one very soon)

Contests (Will be posting this one very soon)

Also, you will find some sweepstakes with the designation "A Mommy Must!" These are definitely the most "winnable" sweeps out there and so you should ALWAYS make time to enter these! A "winnable" sweepstakes usually has a very short entry period, or is super exclusive (meaning no major advertisements made about it), or is awarding a ton of prizes. These don't come around all the time, and so you definitely have to take advantage of them when you find them!

Remember, if you have any questions as to how a sweepstakes is run, who can enter, etc., then please consult the Official Rules for the answer. Also, if you come across "A Mommy Must!" sweep, make sure you take the time to enter it because only the most "winnable" sweeps get this designation!

Next week, I will dedicate a post to developing your sweeping routine and methods for entering a massive amount of sweeps in a streamlined fashion. If you are interested in entering more sweeps than what I have listed here, please do an internet search for sweepstakes, contests, etc. and you will have more than enough to keep you busy! Until then, good luck and happy sweeping!

I'm a former 7th grade Science teacher turned stay-at-home mom that lives in Houston, Texas. I am married to my college sweetheart and have a beautiful daughter named Riley, who definitely keeps me on my toes! I am also involved in starting a small business which would both manufacture and sell an invention that I've patented, called Toothpaste 2 Go. I love interacting with my readers and hope to learn as much about you as you learn about me!

Halley Says:

Hi Halley! Yeah, I’ve won plenty from the Instant Win Sweeps including a trip for 4 to Atlanta to meet the Jonas Brothers and even $1,000 cash! You definitely can win with these…the key is the time you enter. I’ve got an upcoming post talking all about how to increase your odds of winning instant win sweeps. I did win a 5″x7″ photo book from the Snapfish sweep I listed here.

Hang in there! I’m sure if you keep at it, good things will come your way!
